Alas … it appears that Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s constant attempts to make it as a big name movie star continue to fall short of her intended goal. SMG‘s new film Possession, which was to be released in theaters has been demoted to a straight-to-DVD release hitting stores on May 12:
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring the Sarah Michelle Gellar film ‘Possession’ to Blu-ray on May 12th, day-and-date with the DVD release. Technical specs have yet to be announced at this time, though you can expect the typical 1080p AVC and DTS-HD Master Audio treatment from the studio. Special features have also yet to be announced at this time, but we expect to hear more soon.
Sad. It’s such a shame that SMG decided to end Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s TV run because she wanted to make movies … and this is what’s become of her movie career. I don’t know why but she seems to keep making the same shitty horror film over and over over again. First there was The Grudge, then The Grudge 2, then The Return, then Possession … it’s like her movie career is stuck on repeat. Here’s hoping her other film scheduled for a theatrical release, Veronika Decides to Die, makes it to the big screen. You know … a bet a big screen adaptation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (well another one with 100% less Luke Perry) would deffo make it to theaters. I’m just sayin’.
This sucks. I’m such a big SMG fan, and I’d love to go to the movies and see her in something besides Scooby Doo! I am a fan of The Grudge movies, and I have Southland Tales (ugh…so not worth the 20 bucks I spent on it) and The Return (I was pleasantly surprised) and my all time favorite,Cruel Intentions. And they keep pushing back the date on this one. I thought the trailers for this one looked pretty good, and I’ve seen worse hit the theaters. I don’t get it.
I still love you, Sarah!
I love SMG & have seen & will see anything she’s in. She’ll make a comeback…you’ll see Trent. Don’t worry. She’s a very smart girl and everyone knows she can act. Its not like she has to “prove” herself to anyone. I wish she would make a badass chick flick or something. She’s awesome at kicking ass. TEAM SMG :)
I was a huge fan of SMG, but I haven’t seen her in anything good these days! It’s a shame that her career is continually fading away.
Meh. I liked Buffy but that was about it of hers.
Can’t say I’m a fan.
meh. Never a fan. I liked Buffy but that was about it.
What wrong with the home pages btw?
What the fug?????
why is that the poster? the movie isnt even a horror it is a thriller/love story
seriously why dont studios release her movies? The Grudge made well over 100 million, as did Scream and Scooby Doo…she has a devoted fanbase
She should stop taking leading roles in small movies and take supporting roles in big movies…something like a Judd Apatow movie or a big ensamble drama with lots of names
Aw, sad, I love SMG!
100% less Luke Perry? Have you gone mad? I’ll take me some Dylan McKay/Pike/Luke Perry any day.
This really isn’t her faullt; the studio has continually pushed this movie back for along time now. It was supposed to be released last year so it really isn’t her fault. The Grudge was good and way successful but she should have never signed on to do the second movie; horrible idea. She should stay on TV for a little while AND then make movies. She needs a better agent obviously.
Maybe she needs to stop playing stupid characters in stupid movies. I like SMG, but she picks some shitty movies.
hell’s yeah she needs to do a big screen version of Buffy! i think right around now would be a good time since Sex and the City did so well, and all the Marvel movies… THEN, after that did well people will want to put her in GOOD movies. duh!
She probably does the same shitty movie because she can’t get anything else at this point! Sad but true.
I’m probably in the minority, but I really liked the Buffy movie, and couldn’t get into the show at all.
Alright…Luke Perry is awesome. Don’t hate. Also, I’m all for a remake of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. I don’t get it…why does SMG contiue to make horrible movies? She was awesome in Cruel Intentions. That is a fave of mine. I also really liked her in the earlier Buffy series before it got really strange…SMG, use your head and get into something good! Read tons of scripts and get second opinions! Please, girl, you owe it to yourself! Revamp the old you and rekindle the flame that’s been flickering and on the verge of burning out for a while.
I have always loved her and her hubby is pretty hot too!! She is very pretty.
This is the life of an actor. Your hot, then your not – then hopefully your hot again … if you haven’t completely ruined your image by taking bad roles in bad films, in the meantime.
I totally heart me some SMG… maybe someone should tell her to stop picking movies with cheesey horror plot lines… beacuse really the Grudge was bad enough, she should have learned from that one.
Before The Grudge SMG’s career was good both on TV and the couple of movies she did. After it’s just a done deal. I would love to see her do something good, but so far it ain’t happening.
Could the BTVS cast even be physically up to doing a Buffy movie, it’s been 10 years since the show actually came out. and except for Michelle everybody else is maturing in the wrong direction
I’m a hardcore Buffy fan since the third episode of the first season. But after the series ended and I bought the seasons and watched them I realized something; Sarah is NOT that great of an actress. Alyson Hannigan is amazing, however. Sarah can’t hold something up on her own.
